John's a realist. John counts pretty well ... John's a very effective leader and politician, and mathematically you just can't get there.

North Korea is a different situation as well, ... Different area, different dynamics, different leader, different possibilities. Syria is different from Iraq. Each of these nations must be dealt with based on their own specific situation.

I think the administration is making a terrible mistake in opposing John McCain's amendment on detainees and torture,

It is always better for a leader to be revered rather than feared.

Until we're mathematically out, you're going to go for it.

John does a pretty good job of keeping his composure. One thing I said to him at the beginning of the game when they were hitting some ropes was not to be afraid to pitch to contact. Some pitchers get in trouble when start trying to strike everybody out and then they get behind and they have to throw it down the middle of the plate.
